Chapter: 1202 (2/2)

Qing Shui had wanted to spread the reputation of the blacksmith store but it was a little hard. It wasn’t something which could be achieved within a short amount of time. Moreover, operating the blacksmith store wasn’t something which was sustainable in the long run. It could be used for self-amusement though. Additionally, there were limitations to what the blacksmith store could achieve.

After seeing how strong Eldest Princess was, Qing Shui felt that other than trying to get stronger, he also needed to have a better understanding of the world. Only by getting more exposure to other things would one then be able to raise the one’s state and thus allow one’s cultivation to advance even faster.

It was just like how, for a frog in a well, the state he was in would restrict the ability for him to progress. Only by knowing how big the world out there was, would one be able to smash the shackles binding them.

Right now, Qing Shui no longer wanted to rely on spreading the reputation of the blacksmith store. He wasn’t able to do so in terms of the time he had. One would be able to profit from having influential friends. Right now, he felt that there was a need for him to make such influential friends.

For example, it would be a good option if he could get himself the status of a member of the Heaven Secrets Academy. Before a person attacked another, he must first assess who was the one supporting the target. There should be no problems for him to enter the Heaven Secrets Academy and become an elite disciple. When that happens, the treatment he would receive would become even better.

“Qing Shui, you’re not angry with Elder Sister, right?” The group of them sat down in the hall and Seventh Princess asked Qing Shui while he was pouring tea for them.

“What on earth are you thinking? Why would I be angry? I even want to thank her. If it wasn’t for her, we’ll probably still be there. How could we possibly still be drinking tea and chatting here?” Qing Shui smiled and said.

…

“Oh, right. Qing Shui, I’ve asked my sister. Three years ago, she met your wife in the Divine Might Dynasty. However, she didn’t know what your wife was called and doesn’t know if she is still in Divine Might Dynasty now.” Seventh Princess recalled this and quickly brought it up, not wanting to dwell too much on the previous topic.

Qing Shui shuddered. He had finally gotten news of Di Chen. It was good as long as she had appeared before. He knew that Eldest Princess knew because Seventh Princess must have brought out that portrait.

Hearing news of Di Chen still made Qing Shui feel quite agitated. It had been quite a while since he had heard news of her. Just this alone was sufficient to let Qing Shui be thankful.

“Thank you. I’m too happy to be able to hear her news.” Qing Shui looked at Seventh Princess and thanked her seriously.

When Seventh Princess saw how happy Qing Shui was, she was both happy and disappointed. She didn’t know where her disappointment came from but that feeling left her feeling a little gloomy.

“Right, Qing Shui, do you still want to enter Heaven Secrets Academy?” Seventh Princess looked at Qing Shui. She felt that after hearing news of Di Chen, he might not want to enter the Heaven Secrets Academy anymore.

“I do. Could it be that Seventh Princess has a way?” Qing Shui knew that Seventh Princess must have a way since she had brought this up. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said a word about this.

“I’ve spoken to my sister. There are no more slots for this year and you’ll have to wait till next year. Are you able to wait for a while?” Seventh Princess looked at Qing Shui and said.

“Of course. I don’t have any urgent matters to attend to for now either, and its good for me to stay around for half a year too.” Qing Shui felt that it wasn’t a bad idea for it to be slightly delayed.

“Right, Brother Yan, when you’re having your wedding, will the people from Scarlet Flame Region still come and create and trouble?” Qing Shui looked toward Yan Yangchi.

“By right, they shouldn’t, unless they’ve gone out of their minds. However, we’ll still need to be careful.” Yan Yangchi said casually. It seemed that there wouldn’t be too big of a problem.

“Help me thank your elder sister!” When they left, Qing Shui looked toward Seventh Princess and said.

“Mmm, I will. You don’t have to stand on ceremony so much either!” Seventh Princess waved and smiled then departed with the rest.

…

Another week passed by. Yan Yangchi’s wedding was to be held in two days. This time around, Yan Clan was having a wedding with a member of the royalty. In this world, there was an unspoken rule that those who were to marry a lady from the royal family would only have that single woman for his entire life.

This was a form of respect to the royal family. This was why, after learning that Qing Shui already had a wife, Eldest Princess had looked at Seventh Princess with some surprise.

In fact, it could also be because of this that Seventh Princess couldn’t make sense of her feelings. She didn’t even understand the feelings between her and Qing Shui, nor know if she liked him. Sometimes, humans can be very strange.

Qing Shui brought the girl along and appeared at Yan Clan. Many people had come, not only for Yan Clan, but for the royal family as well.

People who appeared here were all leaders of their own areas. They all wore smiles as they greeted and chatted. There were people from all age groups. There were also many young misses and madams who were nobles. They all wore extremely luxurious clothes while they sipped tea and chatted…

Qing Shui’s and the girl’s appearances attracted quite a lot of attention. The girl was too eye catching and she would stand out no matter where she went. Moreover, Qing Shui’s appearance was also quite eye catching. As he attracted the gazes of a number of ladies, he also attracted the hatred of some others.

“I thought that you wouldn’t dare to come. After the other time, you were nowhere to be seen. I hadn’t thought that you would still dare to appear.”

Just then, an eccentric voice rang out. Qing Shui felt that it sounded a little familiar and soon knew who it was when he looked over.

It was the few people he had encountered when they headed to Rong City the other time. It was just that this time around, there was clearly more people.

“Look at that lass next to him. Why does she feel a little eerie? Why are you out here when you are so ugly that you look neither like a human nor a ghost…”

Pa!

Before the person finished his words, Qing Shui lashed out with a slap across space, sending the person flying while spewing out teeth.

Today, the girl was dressed in all black. Moreover, she still exuded that aura. Although she had concealed quite a bit of the aura, it still gave off a slightly eerie feeling. Although she wasn’t ugly, she was still a little horrifying!
